Horizontal lists

Posted on by Daniel Wood

This tutorial explains how to create horizontal lists and use list items as links in order to create a horizontal navigation bar. The result will look like the image below. You could then go and add some CSS styling to turn this into a nicely themed navigation bar.

Watch the video below (or click here to watch it on YouTube) and then scroll down to see the code.

Here is the sample HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <title>Horizontal lists</title>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/stylesheet19.css"/>
</head>
 
<body>
 <div id"nav">
 <ul id="navlist">
 <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Link five</a></li>
 </ul>
 </div>
</body>
</html>

And here is the sample CSS code:

#navlist li{
 display: inline;
 list-style-type: none;
 padding-right: 20px;
}
